A deposit disagreement is rarely about one scratch. It is usually about whether anyone can show what the property looked like at the start, what it looked like at the end and who agreed to what in between. A move-out record answers those three questions in order.

Start from the move-in baseline, not from memory. Walk the rooms in the same order and photograph the same areas from comparable positions, so each change can be matched to an earlier photo. Do the walk-through close to the day the keys come back; a long gap invites the argument that something happened after the tenant left.

Describe what you see rather than what you conclude. “Chip, about 2 cm, lower left corner of the bath” helps both sides more than “damaged bath”. Treat ordinary wear, such as faded paint or small marks from everyday use, separately from damage, and note which items were already recorded at move-in. What counts as ordinary wear, and what may be deducted, depends on the lease and local law.

If a deduction is proposed, attach what supports it: the move-in and move-out photos of the same spot, and any quote or invoice. Invite the other side to add their view, and keep both positions on the record instead of overwriting one. Check any deadline or itemisation rule that applies where the property is.

Finish the record with the date the keys and meter readings were handed back, the amount of the deposit returned or withheld, and the date it was returned. Tensu can hold the inspection evidence and the outcome together, but it does not decide deductions and it does not move money.
